Re: (Child’s name)
Dear (Principal),
I am the parent of (child’s name). I have been informed that school staff recently used restraint on my child. I am very concerned about this restraint, especially because (it is my understanding that two adult staff members sat on my child in order to restrain him). I am also concerned that (child)’s Behavior Intervention Plan was not implemented during this incident. Therefore, I am writing to request that (school system) conduct an investigation into the use of restraint on (child) on (date/dates), and that a copy of the investigation be provided to me.
Please advise me about the status of this request within 10 days of the date of this letter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
